The name MejYees Oeveg:(351) (Wielder of the bow discharging arrow in multitudes) is explained as the bow holding (Yepeles mesJeles Fefle) arrows(Mejeved).

283

The name efJeée: (379) (the Universe) is originally a pronoun (whole or entire) employed as the first name in the VSN, but here the usage of Masculine indicates His being the Universe i.e. the Universal one.

The name Hejce³e: (415) (One formed of Bliss) must be understood as Hej-ce³e: where Hej means Hejb yeïe or HejceeVeo:. The name Ye&tYe&tJees ue#ceer (449) (the Glorious one with the earth and the mid-regions) should be ue#ce Dem³e Demleerefle ueef#ceved-ue#ceer (M) One possessing a mark or sign or glory.

The name Meeðeves$e: (511) (One having the scripture as His eyes) can be explained in two ways as (01) The eye to perceive the meaning of Scriptures (MeeðeeCeeced ves$eb) and (02) One having scripture as His eyes (MeeðeeefCe ves$eeefCe ³em³e me:) The name Oece&Oesveg: (547) (A bull of righteousness i.e. Nand ) must be taken in its grammatical sense because Oesveg: means a cow which cannot be understood for Lord iva so Oesveg: is derived from Oes (Oe³eefle) (1P) to suck the milk, to nourish. Thus the righteousness nourishes Lord iva.

The name ceeleecen:(564) (One having perceivable effulgence) the name ceeleecen: means efceceerles Fefle ceelee Òeceelee Jee (the perceiver) and cen:(effulgence).

The name DeeMegMeyoHeefle: (591) (the Owner of the word “quick” i.e. easily pleasable) means Lord iva has achieved the name (Meyo)constituted with the word “Quick” i.e. easily pleasable (DeeMeglees<e).

The name megjefYe: (618) (Fragrant) is an Adjective and hence it is declined triply megjefYe: (M), megjefYe (F) and megjefYe (N). So here the masculine declension is given (also in the Namonta-list in App.10).

284

The name ef$eefJeÐe: (631) (One formed of three Lores) can be explained as efleñees efJeÐee ³em³e mJeªHeb me:.

The name ceneocYe: (743) (One having adorable deceitfulness) must be understood in its grammatical sense as cen³eefle Fefle cenled - ceneved from cend(cen³eefle) (10 U) to honour, to adore, to worship.

The name efJeMeecHeefle:~ (827) (Lord of the people or beings) is taken as a compounded name (without dropping the case termination of Genitive(DeuegkeÌlelHeg©<e:)) and therefore the word Heefle: (M) is declined as efJeMeecHele³es (App 10). The name mkeÀvo mkeÀvOeOej: (894) (Bearer of the trunk of the Tree of Evolution) looks meaningless at the first sight but the first word mkeÀvo:is derived from mkeÀvod (mkeÀvoefle) (1P to grow, to burst out, to evolve) and hence the mkeÀvOe: (trunk of a tree) refers to Lord iva bearing the Tree of Existence (mebmeejJe=#e:).

Vedic Traces

Lord iva’s acquaintance with the fourteen lores is expressed in the name efJeÐeejeefMe: (992)( Abode of (fourteen)lores) the fourteen lores are enumerated in Y ñvalkya smruti 1/3:

The name JesoMeeðeeLe&leÊJe%e: (252) (Knower of the meanings and principles of the Vedas & Scriptures) expresses His authority in the Vedic literature.

The above given meaning of the names of the Lin shows more than 1008 names, but they are studied meaning-wise which meet with their grammatical construction. The changes adopted are as under:

The name efJeéekeÀce&efJeMeejo: (236) is taken in the sense of expert in the universal acts, because there is lJeäe architect.

The name cenejslee ceneyeue: (290) Of good virile power is taken together, because cenejslee: (293) Having great virility, occurs again.

Many of the names seem abstruse at the first sight and hence their meaning is taken in their grammatical or etymological meaning after comparing them with the relevant mythology.

ceO³eveeMekeÀ: (955) means the destroyer of the middle, but which is the middle and of what, is difficult to understand. So adopting the three Universal Acts like Creation, Sustenance and Destruction, the middle isconnected with the Existence or the state of transmigration. There is the supporting text of 251

Shastri J.L. also differ in readings and meanings of the names such as efJeéekeÀce&efJeMeejo: (233) (Expert in the universal acts.) as efJeéekeÀcee& (233) (Celestial architect of the universe) & efJeMeejo: (234) (Adept), megHeCe&:(222) (Having good wings of the form of the Vedas) as megHeCe&:(Garuda), ienvees ieg©: (366) the Secret Preceptor or Holy Master as ienve: (366) (Abstruse) and ieg©:(367) (Weighty), ©ef®e: (419) Effulgent as ©ef®e: (Taste), meHleOee®eej: (465)

The above given difference in the readings as well as mean-ings of the Names shows that there must have been other recess-ions of the LP which gave rise to such differences.
